Network delay margin
Network planners determine what time instant transmitters
should use to broadcast the transport stream bits. They all
have to do it at a precise given time, e.g. 700 ms in the picture.
The difference between the network delay and the required
transmission time (700 ms in the example) is called the
“network delay margin” and it will be different depending on
the specific transmitter location. The lower the 'network delay
margin' the higher the chances of that particular transmitter
missing the assigned transmission time.

Receiving and analyzing T2-MI signals


T2-MI is the modulator interface signal used in the 2nd
generation digital terrestrial television broadcasting system. It is
physically transported to the TV towers using IP or RF and it is
accessible via network devices in the form of ASI or IP signals.

RANGERNeo can receive a T2-MI signal via RF, ASI and IP,
in which case it can perform transport quality measurements,
T2-MI packet analysis and PSI extraction from each PLP.

LTE interference on SMATV systems
The RANGERNeo has a variery of tools to compare the
signal reception quality measurements on digital TV channels
with and without the LTE filter. This is very helpful to
anticipate the performance improvement you should expect
on your TV distribution system well before you physically
make changes to the cabling to insert the LTE filter.

LTE interference on CATV networks Downlink and Uplink interference


Some of the bands allocated to LTE are near or inside former Downlink interference comes from the mobile phone base
television bands. For example band 20 (uplink 832-862 MHz; stations which are placed at fixed locations and are always on.
downlink 791-821 MHz). The RANGERNeo has special functions This is not the case of Uplink interference which comes from

LTE signals and channel repack
The use of Smartphones is widely spread all over the world.
In order to meet user demand for bandwidth, mobile phone
operators need to expand their networks, use more efficient

historically assigned to TV broadcast services (channel
repack in the US or digital dividend in Europe).

M2M Machine to Machine applications


Besides LTE interference measurements there is also an
increasing need to look at the LTE signals themselves.
This function can also be useful for Machine to Machine
applications (electric car charging station, vending machine,
wireless credit card reader...). One of the first problems you
encounter is to make sure there is good signal coverage from
the operator the system is working with.
